Math problem

[sunnydee]

I just received my Sea-Klear clarifier. One ounce treats 5,000 gallons. Of course, my tub isn't 5,000 gal, but rather 300 gallons! Any mathematicians out there???

300/5000 = 3/50 = 0.06 oz.

Now what is that in drops?!

If you use an eyedropper - find out how many drops are in an oz. multiply that number by 3 and the divide it by 50.  That's your answer.

Spatech tuo and drewstar are good at numbers.  Ask their bookies!

Feel free to use 1 ounce for overkill and be done with it.  It was originally intended for use in pools as well.

Thanks. I just put a Tablespoon of the Sea Klear diluted in some water, then added to the tub. What's the worst that could happen?! The bottle says its safe for fishponds...lol. :-/

It sounds like you got the 'pool' version.  I'm guessing there's a difference in how they're diluted or something.  I'll look at my bottle at home and let you know what it says for dosage.  I know the bottle I have says it's for Spas and Hot Tubs and the dosage is based on 500 gallons I think.   I typically put in 1 or 2 oz when I use it.

Wow, this stuff goes a long way.  What are you using it for? Is this the best clarifier to use?

I just bought some from Doc and I could swear it said use 1 oz per 250 gallons on his website.

BTW the amount that tonyp stated would be less than a teaspoon, but then again maybe on a teaspoon  the measurement is dry weight not liquid.

simple - just add one ounce of concentrate to a bottle, then add 16 ounces of water to that.
Then use one ounce of your dilute soultion in the tub.

So...  My bottle of SeaKlear reads like this:


[size=48]SeaKlear[/size]
[size=18]Natural Clarifier[/size]
[size=16]For Spas and Hot Tubs[/size]

Dosage

• Standard Dosage: Use 1 fl. oz. of SeaKlear Natural Clarifier for each 500 gal. of spa or hot tub water.  No premixing required.  Do not dilute.
• Cloudy Water Dosage: If your water is especially dirty or cloudy, you can double or triple the standard dosage without any side affects.

(ok... I was having a little fun with the size and color...)

Sea Klear.  Great stuff.  A couple of years back I drained my spa with my submursible pump only to find that when I refilled it I had an oil slick from the leaky pump.  It was gross.  I called the Sea Klear Rep and he suggested putting the entire quart in (300 gal spa).  He also sad he had never had to fix this kind of prob before.  Anyway, next morning, poof, perfect water.  replaced the filter and back in business.
